vpon the casing of the vacuum-chamber D l is secured the barrel of a pump, E, one among other purposes of which is to aid the action of the vacuum-chamber in an emergency or in The pump is disposed in a plane at one side of the partition g, whi le the valve of the opening g3 ofthe said partition is caused to remain closed by ordinary means when the pump is used solely as a pump, in which case the water is discharged through the openings in the side of the vac` num-chamber D, the valve preventingthereturn of the water from the trough, which would otherwise occur by the action of suction in the pump chamber the chamber D during such latter use ofthe pump. It isobvious that when the side openings of the vacuum-chamber are closed or are not discharging the action or pressure of the water lifted into the pump chamber or compartment, either when t-he pump is used to aid the action or suction of the vacuum-chamber, or when the latter is used alone, willact upon the valve of the opening g, and thus open said valve, (the water iinding no other outlet,) and to escape by said valve and through said opening.

My invention is, as before stated, also adapted to maintain a iiow of oil at a constant uniform level to the oil vessel or receptacle of a lamp, to keep the wick constantly saturated.

ln order to exclude air from the vacuumchainber D, the wheel-shaft opening inthe top of its casing is designed to have a stuffing-box, which is to be packed with waste cotton, placed around said shaft, suitably oiled to lubricate the shaft.

The pump is provided with the usual plunger and discharge-spout, and its plui'iger is provided with an operating-handle.

ln order to suppl y the watering-trough,(the receiving-pipe entering the reservoir, tank, or or reservoir bysliading therein, and into the longer leg of the Siphon-pipe A and reserve pipe a to the height as also indi` cated by shading therein, when a iiow will be effected into the said trough, which will be maintained until the water rises in the trough to the height of the dotted lines, the flow then ceasing. When the water has been removed or drank out by the cattle to the shading, the iiow will tgain take place, and its intermittent fiow or action will be keptup as long as the tank or reservoir contains Water or until it is emptied. lf water or liquid be placed in the tank to the height of the dotted line thereing an upward extension,

in, the water or liquid need be placed in the Siphon and reserve pipe to only the height of the dotted line crossing the same, which will render the flow automatic. Of course, during such iiow or passage of Water each of the Waterwheels will be operated, when their belt, as previously requisition should there be any failure of action of the siphon alone.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is

l. The combination, with the Siphon havthe water-wheel carrying a pulley on its shaft g a pulley, and the pipe connected to said casing and entering the tank or reservoir, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combinatiomwith the vacuum-chamber, of the water wheel having its shaft passed through the casing of said vacuumchamber and carrying a pulley, and having stuiiing or lubricant an enlarged upward substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination of the ing connected to an extension thereof, the water-wheel secured wi thi n said casing carry` ing a pulleyon its shaft, the enlarged upward extension, the tri`legged apertured support, the water-wheel having its shaft provided with a pulley, and the vacuum-chamber having. a pipe leading to the tank or reservoir, substantially as shown and described.

4. The Siphon-pipe having 4its shorter leg or arm provided with an upwardly-extended pipe having a casing securing a watenwheel with vits shaft carrying' a pulley, in combina tion with the vacuum-chamber connected to ln testimony whereof I affix inysgnature in presence of two witnesses.
